[QUOTE="Chzbro, post: 5402889, member: 83964"] I'm no shrink, but I feel comfortable saying that the kind of negativity we've been seeing on these boards lately can't be healthy. Especially since it has lost all sense of perspective. You'd think WotC had been out bombing our ancestral villages or kicking random puppies. They are not worse than BP and Al Qaida combined. They make a game, and sometimes their decisions concerning that game don't match our expectations...but despite that the game remains playable (and continues to get better as a whole). All this angst and crying makes me feel like I'm back in high school and my best friend's girlfriend just broke up with him. Now I have to listen to him moan about how evil and soulless she is while I nod sympathetically and roll my eyes when he's not looking. Yes. WotC treated you with less sensitivity than you think you deserve. It's not that big a deal. Look around. Most WotC customers didn't even notice. We're continuing to play and enjoy the game even if a few others aren't. You can join us. It's just a game and WotC is just a company--and believe it or not, it's a company that treats its customers a lot better than most other companies do. Take a deep breath, think about starving children in Ethiopia and war orphans in Darfur, and then try again to convince me that the way WotC mishandled DDI this month is really worth getting bent out of shape over. You *should* tell them what makes you unhappy, and you *should not* pay for a service that you don't care for. But posting about it incessantly is self-indulgent and smacks a bit of wallowing in your own misery. (This is not directed at Merric, who is one of my favorite posters on these boards. But these pity-party threads have got to stop. And people have to stop popping in to every discussion just to make sure everyone else knows that they're not going to pay for DDI anymore. We get it. Stop talking about doing it and just do it. If you decide to come back later, we'll still be here and we won't think any less of you.) [/QUOTE]
